Psychic Self Defense

[Gentle Deer Lion Tamer]

The term "Psychic Attack" actually covers a broad spectrum of
situations in which one individual, the aggressor, deliberately
projects a clearly defined malicious intent upon the non-physical
person of another, the victim. To differentiate, the intended results
of the attack may affect the physical body through disease or death,
but the attack itself is aimed at the non-physical planes of the human
energy field. Psychic attacks range in complexity from a very brief,
but highly emotionally charged anger or hatred with a "wish" for some
clearly defined negative consequence, to the very elaborate,
ritualistic practice of malicious sorcery. Although the practice of
psychic attack covers such a broad spectrum, the principles of psychic
self-defense are much more universal. Once you have "mastered" the
techniques of psychic self-defense, and in the absence of some vastly
superior power, the application of basic psychic self defense will
work.

WARNING: If you believe yourself to be the victim of a psychic attack
originating from a professional sorcerer, I strongly urge you to seek
qualified professional assistance immediately. In the event that
someone has gone to the expense of employing a professional sorcerer
against you, you may rest assured that they are deadly serious about
your demise. Professional attacks are EXTREMELY costly, and not to be
taken lightly. Psychic attacks that originate from such a source are
well beyond the capabilities of the inexperienced or the amateur. SEEK
HELP IMMEDIATELY!!!

To understand psychic attack, we return to the "Five Principles of
Universal Magick". The five principles are:

*DESIRE
*INTENT
*ALIGNMENT
*RITUAL
*EXPECTATION

In a "Psychic Attack", the DESIRE aspect of the magickal act is based
not only on the aggressor's desire to inflict an attack, but on the
motive for the attack as well. It is important to understand that a
psychic attack is normally a deliberate act, usually in response to
some perceived action on the part of the victim. Since psychic attacks
are based solely on the aggressor's perception of a person or
situation, the attack and the motive may have no basis in fact. This
does not prevent the aggressor from feeling justified, if not
benevolent, in initiating the attack. Because of this "perception
factor", many victims either never realize that they have been
targeted, or fail to accurately grasp the motive or the severity of
such an attack. In only the ugliest motives of greed or maliciousness
are psychic attacks totally unprovoked.

The INTENT aspect of the psychic attack is the clearly defined result
or outcome of the attack. This can include virtually anything that you
can think of, including extreme financial loss and even death. In the
magickal act of psychic attack, the more forethought and clearly
defined programming the aggressor completes, the more successful the
assault will become, lacking any adequate defenses by the intended
victim. To be most effective, the attack should include such
programming as the time and place of the assault to produce maximum
vulnerability, the victim's point of vulnerability, the programmed
objective and method of execution, and the post-attack dissipation of
the energy or projected thought form.

In the ALIGNMENT aspect of the psychic attack, the aggressor must
eliminate any internal conflict within himself/herself regarding the
intended act. Internal conflict, as it relates to psychic attack, is
normally generated when there is a moral issue associated with the
intended act. The purest act of magick will manifest with the greatest
expectation of success when there is no internal conflict. Any
internal conflict will have a proportionately negative effect on the
aggressor's chances of success.

RITUAL is the aspect of the magickal act that generates and focuses
the power necessary to accomplish the attack. Rituals can be as simple
or as complex as the practitioner chooses or requires, but the
function is always the same. Frequently, in the creation of a psychic
attack, the aggressor uses a likeness of the intended victim in the
form of a doll called a "poppet". To achieve the maximum connection
between the magickal act and the intended victim, the aggressor will
attach any available personal items of the victim, including hair,
clothing items, jewelry, etc. This doll, now having "become" the
intended victim, becomes the focus of all the power and intent of the
aggressor.

Having now completed all of the steps of the magickal act, the
aggressor has only to watch and wait with EXPECTATION for the psychic
assault to take its course. In association with the psychic attack,
this is a good time for the aggressor to set up whatever protection is
required in the event that the victim successfully repels the attack
and the attack is turned back against the aggressor. This is a mistake
that many who practice psychic attack make, thinking no one would dare
oppose them or even have the power to oppose them. This mistake can be
fatal.

This is a very brief summary of the process of creating a psychic
attack. For obvious reasons, no further explanation will be given, but
this should give you, the intended victim, an idea of the process an
aggressor will use to bring negative forces against you.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF PSYCHIC ATTACK?

The symptoms or affects of a psychic attack are very individual. Where
and how the attack will affect the intended victim is individually
programmed by the aggressor. There are, however, some general warning
signs that may be an indicator of a possible attack. Remember, any one
of these warnings alone may or may not indicate a psychic attack in
progress. If you are fortunate, the aggressor may be foolish enough or
confident enough to make their intentions very clear. This is
generally not the case. Lacking any formal notification from the
aggressor, the individual is left to use reason and intuition to
determine the presence of such intent.

General warning signs might include, but are not limited to:

1.) A feeling of weight pressing down on your while you are asleep or
dreaming.
2.) A continuous and intensifying sense of oppression or fear while
awake.
3.) Nervous exhaustion or wasting away to "skin and bone" when there
is no medically diagnosable physical cause.
4.) Being terrified of going to sleep due to constant, repetitive
nightmares, particularly where you are constantly being chased or
assaulted.
5.) The feeling of being stalked by someone other than a physical
person.
6.) Obnoxious odors that come and go with no apparent physical cause.
(These odors will be noticed by anyone who is around when they are
present.)
7.) A sudden and inexplicable desire not be to alone. (This is not the
ordinary aversion to loneliness, but an obsession not to be left alone
for even the slightest moment.)
8.) Inexplicable outbreaks of fire or fever. (This is often associated
with elemental activity.) This affect is often associated with someone
practicing ancient culture specific magick, in this case, ancient
Egyptian.
9.) The intuitive or visible presence of a manifest thought form.
(similar to a ghost, but man-made.)
10.) An inexplicable numbing, followed by paralysis, beginning at the
feet and extending gradually up the body.
11.) The rapid and inexplicable onset of constant choking or
suffocation.
12.) Sudden and inexplicable losses. This may be by financial down-
turn or mysterious theft.
13.) Sudden and inexplicable pestilence, such as flies, spiders,
snakes or other undesirable insects and creatures.

Remember, the affect may be anything the human mind can conceive and
the aggressor can generate enough power to manifest.

THE POWER OF SUGGESTION

Like the assassin plotting the attack on his next physical victim, the
psychic attacker plots the attack on his intended victim. In order for
the psychic attack to be successful, it must penetrate the victim's
consciousness and implant itself deep within the subconscious, where
it alters the victim's "illusion of reality". Attached and rooted deep
within the subconscious, the psychic attack spins its web around the
victim's very thoughts and beliefs, altering and disrupting normal
patterns in such a subversive way that the psychic attacks presence is
almost imperceptible. By the time the attacks effects become
noticeable, the damage is well established and advanced. The carefully
programmed attack is now one with you.

How the attack penetrates the subconscious and establishes itself
depends on the victim's vulnerabilities. The entire human system is a
complex bio-electro-magnetic field. The psychic attack is a projected
thought, an energy form carrying a magnetized imprint of a malignant
pattern programmed to disrupt a specific energy pattern within the
intended victim's subconscious. It really does not matter how the
attack penetrates the subconscious, its presence by whatever means is
sufficient. Psychic attacks are always the product of some form of
suggestion. Suggestion simply means that a message has bypassed the
conscious mind and was planted directly in to the subconscious. This
is the entire basis of subliminal programming for weight loss, to quit
smoking, become motivated, or overcome a terminal disease. But
suggestion is a two-edged sword. The subconscious mind, as we
discussed in the "Anatomy OF A Magickal Human", does not analyze or
judge incoming data. It simply acts on the information that is
programmed and imprinted within it.

GETTING THROUGH THE AURIC FIELD

The auric layers are actually egg-shaped, luminous energy fields that
completely encapsulate the physical body in ever-expanding layers of
higher frequency energy fields. Each layer can be defined by location,
color, brightness, form, density, fluidity, and function. The layers
are connected to the organs and biological systems of the body through
a series of energy vortices called "chakras". The "auric layers"
correspond to the chakras, in that the closest layer to the physical
body is the first layer, and is connected to the first chakra. The
second layer is connected to the second chakra and is the second layer
out from the physical body. The chart below shows the location of each
chakra and the associated organs and/or biological systems.


Beginning with the genital area "Root" chakra, the seven layer, seven
chakra system looks like this;

Layer One, Chakra One - the Base or "root"- autonomic function, sexual
energy, regeneration and creative drive.
Layer Two, Chakra Two - the sacral - endocrine system, emotional
aspects of human consciousness, purification, metabolism, and
immunity.
Layer Three, Chakra Three - the Solar Plexus - sympathetic nervous
system and the adrenal glands, body energy, circulation and general
mood. Also intellectual thought & linear reckoning.
Layer Four, Chakra Four - the Heart - the Thymus Gland, associated
with love, both individual as well as humanitarian.
Layer five, Chakra Five - the Throat - the higher will and the power
of the spoken word, ability to speak our truth, and taking
responsibility for our actions.
Layer Six, Chakra Six - the Third Eye - the Pituitary Gland -
visualization and psychic powers.
Layer Seven, Chakra Seven - the Crown - the Pineal Gland - connection
to your higher self as well as the Other World and the Divine. It is
our connection with the higher mind, and the integration of our
spiritual and physical makeup.

Any incoming psychic attack must attempt to access your sub-conscious,
and thus your conscious reality or your physical body through one or
more of these channels. The object of the psychic attack is to disrupt
the natural harmony within your body and/or your illusion of reality.
In some cases, by creating a disruption within the body, the aggressor
either intends to inflict pain, suffering, or death. In other cases,
the aggressor intends to create a disruption in the harmony and
continuity of life's natural events. In the most severe cases, the
aggressor may actually intend to create such disruption and exert such
control over you as to actually "own" you (steal your soul.)

It is important to understand that the creation of these advanced
forms of psychic attack are generally well beyond the range of the
average person, even well beyond the range of the average "New Age"
practitioners. The knowledge and power required to perform advanced
magick comes from a lifetime of occult practice.

PROTECTING YOURSELF FROM ATTACK

I am always amused at the variety of techniques that people espouse to
protect them from "evil". One of the most common that I am aware of is
the "visualized protection" technique. This system includes
visualizing yourself surrounded in a bubble of light or using a mirror
or reflective surface to reflect the attack back to the aggressor. In
my mind, visualizations are very much like affirmations, especially
those affirmations used to treat terminal disease. What is the
difference between those who successfully use affirmations and
survive, and those who use affirmations and die? I believe the answer
is very simple. Those who use the affirmations in conjunction with the
FIVE PRINCIPLE LAWS OF UNIVERSAL MAGICK, as stated above, and do so
with sufficient emotional power to imprint the desired reality on the
subconscious live. Those who repeat sentences and phases die!

It is the same with Psychic Self-Defense. Any system lacking
sufficient power to reach and affect the subconscious mind will fail.
It's that simple. The successful psychic attack reached and affected
the victim's subconscious, radically altering the reality of the
victim. You, as an intended victim, must create a system equally
capable of accessing the subconscious and re-aligning reality. If you
have done everything correctly, following the steps outlined above,
and no greater force opposes you, you can expect your efforts to be
successful. However, a warning again - if you are not successful, do
not hesitate to seek professional assistance immediately.

A final way to stop a psychic attack and to protect oneself from a
psychic attack is through the use of Angels. These may be Guardian
Angels, those who were assigned to you before birth and remain with
you throughout your life. Other Angels may be called upon to help you.
If the attack is severe, one may resort to asking one of more
Archangels for help. For a discussion of Angels and communicating with
them, click on the links in this paragraph.

THE POWER OF EMOTION

I have taught many people my favorite visualization defense. I believe
this visualization has power, aside from the emotional factor, because
it truly symbolizes shielding. The subconscious relates to symbols. In
one of the Batman movies, we get to see Batman's car. One of the most
awesome features of this car is it's shield system. When Batman
requires shields, he presses a button and instantly an armor plate
envelopes the car. What symbolic power. Now imagine yourself, on
symbolic command, completely engulfed in a huge plate armor cocoon.
But this is not all. Remember the power of emotion. We must now charge
and reinforce that armor. Raise your emotional level, directing all
the power generated into those shields. Feel the power flowing through
you and around you. Feel the shields come up and slam into place. Hear
them lock into perfect position. Experience the moment. Feel it.
Practice it. Memorize it. Empower it. Reinforce it. Then drop your
shields and start all over again. You must be able, on command, to
generate the required power to activate and reinforce your psychic
shields. The subconscious has the power to do that. But it must be
programmed to respond instantly to your thought command. Practice your
shields until there is no doubt in your mind that you can generate
power and activate shields on command.

A BATTLE TO THE DEATH

In Max Freedom Long's book, "THE SECRET SCIENCE BEHIND MIRACLES", Max
relates a story about a young Hawaiian man who inadvertently fell
victim to the Huna Death Chant by breaking his village's taboo of
having contact with white people. The white man, being familiar with
the ways of Huna, recognized the advancing symptoms of the Death Chant
and set about to release his young victim friend. The story relates
that the white man WORKED HIMSELF INTO A FRENZY OF EMOTION, working
feverishly over the young man, pleading the innocence and youth of the
victim versus the wickedness and maliciousness of the aggressor. The
white man worked constantly and tirelessly in this frenzy of emotion,
until at last HE FELT THE SPELL BREAK. Exhausted and wrung out from
emotion, the white man collapsed. But immediately the affects of the
Death Chant on the young man reversed its course until it was all gone
and the young man regained his strength. The story concludes with the
fate of the Kahuna aggressor. At the same hour that the spell released
it's intended victim, the Kahuna began screaming and staggering about
the village, wailing that he had failed to protect himself from his
own spell and that it had come back upon him. The Kahuna, needless to
say, died the slow and agonizing way of the Huna Death Chant.

This is a classic example of the force of emotion, the pure force of
will, and the wisdom that is required to break such a spell cast
properly. Psychic Self-Defense is not about fantasy warfare. It is
about survival of the fittest. You dare not fail.

THE BEST DEFENSE IS A GOOD OFFENSE

Many of today's religions have a creed to the effect, "And if it harm
none, do as you will". Shamanism has no such creed. A shaman is as
equally adept at the dark side as he/she is at the light side, and
uses whatever means is necessary to accomplish his/her task. In the
Shamanic tradition, if you are struck by an aggressor, you are bound
to strike back with sufficient force that the aggressor will never
desire to assault you again, in the event that he/she is still able.
In your life and in your magickal works, never show ignorance or
weakness. Do all that you do from the most advantageous position you
can achieve. Know your allies, and know your enemies. NEVER OVER-
ESTIMATE YOUR OWN POWER. NEVER UNDER-ESTIMATE THE OPPOSITION. NEVER
FAIL TO PROTECT YOURSELF IN ALL THAT YOU DO. Be constantly aware of
your own feelings and intuitions. If something "feels" out of place,
examine it. You notice that I constantly refer to intuition and
feelings. That is because by the time logic and conscious awareness
engage, precious time has elapsed. Logic is based on empirical data,
and that can be extremely limited and erroneous. It is far better to
trust your intuition and be "wrong", than wait for conscious awareness
and be trapped.
